fix(update): stop presenting the same server as two mirrors
Both default update mirrors resolve to the SAME host — the primary by name over
HTTPS, the fallback by IP over plain HTTP — while SystemUpdate.vue told the
operator "Servers this node checks for updates. The primary is tried first; if
it's slow or unreachable, the next one in the list is tried automatically."

That promises availability redundancy the pair cannot provide: if the origin is
down, both entries are down. Reported by the operator, who read the list and
correctly concluded the fallback made no sense.

The mechanism is fine and deliberate — it recovers a node whose DNS is broken
or whose clock is wrong, both of which fail TLS while plain HTTP still works,
and it is safe because the manifest carries an Ed25519 signature verified
against the pinned release-root anchor, so transport integrity is not what
protects the update. (That last part only became true once Workstream B pinned
the anchor; before then this fallback would have been a real hole.)

So the bug was the labelling, not the design:

- Backend label "Direct (fallback)" -> "Same server, no DNS/TLS", and the
  comment now states plainly that it is the same host, what it recovers, and
  that real redundancy needs a different one.
- UI copy now scopes the redundancy sentence to genuine mirrors and adds a
  paragraph saying the two built-in entries are one server, what the second
  actually recovers, that it does not help if the server is down, why an
  unencrypted fetch is acceptable, and how to get real redundancy.

The relabel reaches existing nodes: force_ovh_update_primary rewrites labels for
the two default URLs on every load, while the merge matches on URL and never on
label — without that rewrite path a renamed default would have sat in the code
and never propagated to a single deployed node. Noted inline so it is not
re-broken.

Verified: 40/40 update tests pass (including the mirror load/merge/strip ones),
vue-tsc clean, build green, and the new copy is present in the freshly built
SystemUpdate chunk. Nothing in the tree pinned the old label string.

Archipelago Web UI

Vue 3 + TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS + Pinia

The web interface for Archipelago — a self-sovereign Bitcoin Node OS.

Quick Start

cd neode-ui
npm install
npm start

Visit http://localhost:8100 — login with password: password123

This starts:

  • Mock backend on port 5959 (no Docker required)
  • Vite dev server on port 8100 with HMR

Stop with npm stop.

Dev Modes

The mock backend supports multiple startup modes via VITE_DEV_MODE:

Mode Command Behavior
default npm start Fully set up, login screen
existing VITE_DEV_MODE=existing npm run dev:mock Same as default
setup VITE_DEV_MODE=setup npm run dev:mock First-time password setup flow
onboarding VITE_DEV_MODE=onboarding npm run dev:mock Post-setup onboarding flow
boot npm run dev:boot 25s simulated boot sequence

Mock Backend

The mock backend (mock-backend.js) simulates the full Rust backend for local development:

Pre-installed apps (always visible in My Apps):

  • Bitcoin Core, LND, Electrs, Mempool, FileBrowser, LoraBell, Fedimint

Marketplace: 30+ curated apps with Docker images, install/uninstall simulation

Features simulated:

  • Authentication (login, password change, TOTP 2FA)
  • System metrics (CPU, memory, disk — randomized for realism)
  • Node identity (DID, Nostr pubkey, Tor address)
  • Federation (3 mock nodes with apps, metrics, trust levels)
  • Mesh networking (4 LoRa peers, encrypted messaging, invoices)
  • Peer-to-peer messaging
  • FileBrowser API (mock file system with Music, Documents, Photos, Videos)
  • DWN sync status
  • Transport layer (mesh/LAN/Tor routing)
  • Notifications (5 realistic entries)
  • Claude AI chat proxy (requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)

Container runtime: If Docker/Podman is available, the mock backend will run real containers for installed apps. Otherwise, it simulates them.

Demo Deployment (Portainer)

Deploy the demo via Docker Compose for showcasing:

docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml build
docker compose -f docker-compose.demo.yml up -d

Or deploy through Portainer Stacks:

  1. Stacks > Add stack > name: archy-demo
  2. Web editor: paste docker-compose.demo.yml contents
  3. Add environment variable: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (for Claude chat)
  4. Deploy

Access at http://your-host:4848 — password: password123

Development Commands

npm start              # Start mock backend + Vite (recommended)
npm stop               # Stop all servers
npm run dev:mock       # Same as start, without port cleanup
npm run dev:boot       # Boot mode (simulated startup delay)
npm run backend:mock   # Mock backend only
npm run dev            # Vite only (needs backend running separately)
npm run dev:real       # Vite with real Rust backend

npm run build          # Production build (outputs to ../web/dist/neode-ui/)
npm run build:docker   # Build for Docker (no type checking)
npm run type-check     # TypeScript type checking
npm test               # Run tests

Design System

Glass Classes

Class Use
.glass-card Content containers, modals, panels
.glass-button ALL buttons (primary and secondary)
.path-option-card Interactive cards with hover lift
.info-card Status badges, metric displays

Tokens

  • Font: Avenir Next (primary), Montserrat (font-archipelago)
  • Glass: bg: rgba(0,0,0,0.60), blur: 24px, border: rgba(255,255,255,0.22)
  • Accent: #fb923c (Bitcoin orange), #4ade80 (green), #ef4444 (red)
  • Text: rgba(255,255,255,0.9) primary, rgba(255,255,255,0.6) muted

Rules

  • Global CSS classes in style.css only — never inline Tailwind in components
  • .gradient-button is banned — use .glass-button
  • All components use <script setup lang="ts">

API

import { rpcClient } from '@/api/rpc-client'

await rpcClient.login('password')
await rpcClient.startPackage('bitcoin')
const metrics = await rpcClient.getMetrics()

State management via Pinia stores. WebSocket patches applied automatically.

Build Output

  • Dev build: ../web/dist/neode-ui/
  • Docker build: dist/ (deployed to nginx)
